Celestion has announced that the G12H-150 Redback is available as a Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR), the next-generation digital speaker responses designed to capture the sound and feel of the speaker’s dynamic, non-linear responses for enhanced tonal detail.
All Celestion DSRs are designed especially for use with SpeakerMix Pro, the self-contained studio-grade DAW plugin dedicated to bringing detail and realism to guitar and bass speaker tone.
Constructed with a 2-inch voice coil combined with a heavy G12 magnet and a wealth of engineering expertise, the Redback is optimised to deliver a tight, fat low end, more laid-back treble, and enough midrange character to deliver compelling lead lines.
Users can get tone direct to their modelling amp or digital audio workstation and dial in balance, responsiveness and impressive playability delivered by the Redback.
The Dynamic Speaker Response (DSR) files for the Celestion G12H-150 Redback series are available individually or as a complete set. The Redback set includes five cabinet configurations: 1×12 (open and closed back), 2×12 (open and closed back) and 4×12 (closed back).
As a host program for the new Redback and the entire line of Celestion DSRs, SpeakerMix Pro presents the next-generation virtual speaker solution.
More than just a top-level IR loader and convolution engine for hosting impulse responses, it offers quality sound, mixes up to six channels of different IRs into a stereo or mono track, and fixes IR sample rate/project mismatches.
With SpeakerMix Pro, users can discover Celestion’s proprietary DSRs, integrate their personal library of Celestion and third-party Impulse Responses to make the most of the tones they already own, incorporate Celestion’s room responses (or add their own) into a mix for an authentic ‘live’ sound, deploy the unique Z-curve function to closely model the dynamic electrical coupling between amp and speaker, and fine-tune the mic position – enabling the user to adjust the position of the microphone across the speaker until they’ve found the tone that’s just-right (DSR-specific functionality).
The new SpeakerMix Pro Demo automatically installs with 10 sample DSR speaker cabinets and 10 DSRs – curated to give users a broad tone experience across the Celestion range of guitar and bass speakers.
A free 14-day demo of SpeakerMix Pro is available for download and users can upgrade to the full version of SpeakerMix Pro at any time during or after the trial period.
Users can purchase the full version of SpeakerMix Pro and select 10 free DSR cabs, choosing the preferred DSRs from the available range on Celestionplus.com during upgrade.
